Chapter 16: The Mysterious Black Clothes

On the afternoon of August 12, Song Zheng was not in the mood to exercise, and he was thinking about those few broken poems. Now I know what's going on in the first two sentences, and the last two sentences are really a little difficult to understand, "Piercing Yang Shen to break through the tortoise shell" can vaguely guess a little, wearing Yang Shen Shot, it should refer to a hundred steps through Yang. It seems to be from the "Historical Records", which says that there is a person named Yang Youji in the Chu State, who is very good at archery, and he can shoot willow leaves at a distance of 100 steps, and he can also hit 100 shots. Hey! 100 steps? Does it refer to the distance between the second treasure spot and the first? Quite possibly. One step in this era is equivalent to five feet, almost two natural steps of an adult, one foot should be twenty-five or six centimeters, and five feet is about one meter three. A hundred steps is one hundred and thirty meters away.

In that case, in which direction? Song Zheng considered that the snake in the second sentence is talking about "snake", which refers to time. So, does the turtle in the third sentence point in the direction? Turtles and snakes intersect, and the combined thing is Xuanwu, which refers to the north, and the north gate of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is not called Xuanwu Gate? It must be! Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but get excited, and he couldn't wait to go to Maling Lake immediately to have a look. However, he still restrained his impulses, firstly, because his body was too weak to do anything; The second is that those who are fishing for treasure who know whether they have a backhand, in case they are caught, it will be dangerous. So, Song Zheng turned to think about the fourth sentence of "obscene poetry". However, Rao is Song Xiaogongzi thought about it in every possible way, but he couldn't find a clue, so he had to wait until the future to find an ancient mathematics book such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" to read to see if he could find some inspiration.

That night, a fire broke out in Songjiazhuang, and Old Man Zheng's dilapidated house was burned to ashes. After Song Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, Old Man Zheng woke up at the last moment of his life, which really can't be regarded as a blessing. More than forty years have passed in a hurry, and Old Man Zheng doesn't even know how he came over, and his sobriety at the time of dying is a cruel blow to him.

Early the next morning, Song Zheng climbed the West Mountain again. Naturally, he didn't dare to go to Maling Lake, for fear of encountering something he shouldn't be looking at again. He still came to the boulder and practiced his fists and feet. After the two five-bird plays, Song Zheng began to practice Tai Chi, and when he turned his face to the cliff with his fists and feet, he was suddenly startled. A man in black was standing there, his eyes fixed on him. The sweat on Song Zheng's face suddenly fell, and a series of question marks sounded in his heart: Who is this? Why are you staring at me for boxing? What exactly does he want to do?

Song Zheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, with his amazing ear power, he didn't even hear a little movement beforehand, just by virtue of this, this must be a master. With his current small body, he can't even deal with a strong adult, let alone such a master.

This man in black was about thirty years old, seven feet tall, with a thin face, a long body, and two big hands that were particularly stout. The man in black stared at Song Zheng expressionlessly, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Song Zheng wanted to ask "Who are you?" but he didn't dare, for fear of annoying the man in black of unknown origin. So, he had to answer honestly: "My name is Song Zheng, and I am from Songjiazhuang." My grandfather's surname is Song Yanxiang. ”

The man in black frowned and said, "Your father is Song Jue?" ”

Song Zheng was a little strange and said, "Exactly, my father, do you know my father?" ”

The man in black was noncommittal, and asked again, "What kind of punch did you practice just now?" ”

"It's Tai Chi, someone else taught it." Song Zheng didn't lie, Tai Chi was indeed taught by Uncle Chen, a neighbor in his previous life.

The man in black said: "This set of punches is slowly soaring, and the movement of muscles and bones is okay, but it is not suitable for fighting." ”

Song Zheng said in his heart: You know a fart, the strength of Tai Chi, the strength of the force, the twisting of the hand, but it is very practical, when I grow up, I will integrate these things into the fighting, and I will not beat you to call grandpa. Of course, he also thought about these words for himself, and he couldn't say anything in the face of this mysterious man in black.

Seeing that Song Zheng didn't speak, the man in black took out a brown book from his arms, threw it on the stone in front of Song Zheng, and said, "You practice this in the future, and I will look for you in Songjiazhuang when I have time." If you practice well, I will teach you other kung fu. ”

Song Zheng picked up the book, and saw that the cover was actually made of cooked cowhide, and turned the first page, which reads "Big Drag Straight Fist", and then opens a page, which says the first type of "Shocking Dragon Out of the Water", and the following is a schematic diagram of the characters' movements, and it is a small drag straight fist! Flipping back, after the eighteen-style small drag straight punch, there are eighteen moves that I have never seen. After roughly turning it over, Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, who is this man in black? Why did you give yourself such a precious boxing book for no reason?

When Song Zheng raised his head, the man in black was gone. He looked around, and saw a figure in the north flash into the dense forest. Song Zheng became more and more strange, how did he encounter so many strange things in the past two days, first someone was looking for treasure in Maling Lake, then he heard a shocking secret from Old Man Zheng, and today he met this mysterious man in black. Songjiazhuang, a small and remote village, how can there be so many chaotic people?

Song Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore. He opened the book and began to look at it with relish. The eighteen styles behind the big drag straight fist are much more complicated than the small drag straight fist. The most obvious example is that each move of Xiao Troll's straight punch can be illustrated with a single diagram. The big drag straight fist needs two to three figures, and the most exaggerated is the last three styles, which actually used four, five, and six drawings to explain it. These three moves are the sky dragon, the hundred dragons show, and the dragon in the world. With Song Zheng's understanding of fighting, he was also dizzy. In addition to admiration, I can't help but secretly admire the predecessor who created this kung fu.

The morning was short, and Song Zheng didn't stay on the mountain long, he took the boxing book in his arms and walked down the mountain. Brokeback Song Yu was standing in the courtyard looking at the mountain, and when he saw Song Zheng coming down, he actually took the initiative to smile and wave. Song Zheng had no choice but to stand still and shout "Third Uncle", Song Yu waved his hand again and said, "Go back quickly." In the past few days, Song Zheng's nerves were already fragile, and he was frightened by Song Yu's sudden and cordial actions.

All day on August 13, Song Zheng was pondering the big drag straight fist. While pondering, I made a gesture. Xiao Ping has been accustomed to the little master's various exercise methods for a while, and she is not surprised. Song Xiaogongzi's sports equipment also gave Xiaoping a lot of convenience, for example, the horizontal bar and parallel bar are now used to dry quilts, which is much more convenient than hanging on the rope. Song Zheng only smiled bitterly when he saw this.

Song Zheng pondered for a day and finally figured out the five tricks, so the dinner on this day was particularly delicious.

When Song Zheng was having dinner, four people came to the Yuelai Inn in Shishan Town, a man in white, an old man in black, and two men dressed as subordinates, who were the second son, Lu Lao, Jiao Da and Jiao Er. The men were still living in their same rooms.

In the second son's room, Lu Lao said: "Second son, the other two treasure locations are really slim, I'm afraid we won't have anything to gain." Besides, if you are targeted by the people of the Imperial City Division, there will be some trouble. I was still a little worried about the ten boxes that were taken away by the sea ship. ”

The second prince said with a smile: "Lu Lao don't worry, the treasures have been transported to the ship, and the soldiers in Rizhao Town will be divided into two ways, and there will be a split plum blossom plan after arriving at Haimen, and even if the people of the Imperial City Division are as treacherous as ghosts, they will not want to get these treasures." In addition, it was Jin Ying who arranged this matter on the Haimen side, don't you know his ability? Therefore, there is no need to worry about transporting treasures. Besides, even if they dare to fight the idea of treasures, they don't dare to do anything to me, after all, the two sides have not yet torn their faces. ”

Lu Lao said: "Listening to what Gongzi said, we should have no worries about our safety, but the problem is that those two treasure spots are really difficult to find." If we delay time here, I'm afraid we will miss the birthday of the head of the family. ”

The second son waved his hand and said, "Old Lu, tomorrow is August 14, and there are more than 20 days left before my father's birthday on September 9. If we ride fast horses along the coast and return to Jiangning from Haizhou and Yangzhou, it will only take seven or eight days to travel. So, we still have half a month to use. During this time, we need to take a good look at the villages around Maling Lake. At that time, the three hundred pro-army of King Lu were lucky, and some people in these villages might see it. Although nearly 50 years have passed, the elderly in these villages over the age of 60 may know a little bit about the situation. Of course, it is impossible for these people to know where the treasures were buried, otherwise the first treasures would not have been safely at the bottom of the lake for more than forty years. This time we came back, we just wanted to get a little clue, and if we just gave up, I really didn't want to. Of course, if you really can't find it, there is no way, the scenery here is good, let's play, that is. ”

Lu Lao nodded and said, "What Childe said makes sense, if you can really find these two treasure spots, even if you mobilize all the 'dark eagles' from all over the country, it will be worth it." The first treasure spot alone has 100,000 taels of gold, and the other two are probably only a lot more. Speaking of this, Lu Lao's eyes also emitted green light.

The second son said, "These treasures are of great use to my father. With this batch of treasures, it will probably be easier for my father to deal with that person. ”

Lu Lao said: "I am the six-way governor of the army of the Great Qi State, and only Liang Shouxin, the general customs capital of the coastal protection, and Lei Mingjue, the governor of Caoyun, obey the orders of the head of the family, and the troops are still the weakest. The other four routes, including Dong Qianjun, the governor of Shuguan who defended Shu, Gao Dingshan, the governor of Tongguan who defended Western Xia, and Qiao Zhenchuan, the governor of Shandong, who was stationed in Licheng, were all closely connected with that person. That man was also the most important governor of Bianliang, and the entire Daqi border army was almost under the orders of one family. In case that person has any ambitions, there is no problem in establishing a country on his own, and the head of the family has little power to resist. Although that person didn't dare to do anything to the head of the family now, the head of the family couldn't be at ease after all. ”
